According to TPM’s Ryan J. Reilly, a police officer at the scene said this Muslim man shows up at the White House “every couple days” to pray. That was lucky for anti-Sharia protestors who were there and couldn’t find any Muslims to yell at.
He was quickly surrounded by a large group of protestors who shouted an array of insults at him: mocking him for drinking Starbucks coffee, telling him to go back to his country and even throwing tiny crosses at his feet as he prayed.
The “Jesus” chant is great. These people seem to think they’re spectators at a sporting event and their deity is losing the match.
Can President Obama please find these people some jobs? There has to be something worthwhile these folks can do with their time. How about we put them in elementary school classes to boost the self-confidence of America’s children, who are all more intelligent and skilled than they are? [TPM]

I am getting a touchscreen pc at work. No more keyboards to clean the barf off of. That is the second time today.
"Can President Obama please find these people some jobs?"
How about cleaning sewers by hand?
tongue
Beat me to it.
medical research subjects?
There are some landmines and bomblets that need to be cleared out all over the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, from what I understand. These folks may be as trainable as those Moroccan monkeys.
They certainly wouldn't turn down the chance to travel overseas and perhaps convert some of the indigenous peoples now, would they?
Hey…yeah, we can sell the whole thing to them as missionary work….this could work! "Pick landmines for Jebus and convert Muslins" Think of the possibilities, people.
Muslins are evil. Christians are not evil. They and they alone hold all the secrets to the vast universe. Stupid fuckin' creeps.
Hey. Morans. My God doesn't hate.
Jesus loves you. But apparently he loves you the same way an abusive boyfriend loves you.
Jack, you are on a roll today!
Also, too, "DROPDEADFREDDROPDEADFREDDROPDEADFRED!!!!"
If they can scream out the name of imaginary friends, then so can I.
It seems hate is on the big roll today.
Yeah, there's been a high tide of stupid lately. The last gasps of a formerly dominate culture dying?
heh
How did those ass-fucks get from Orange County to DC so fast?
Stupid knows no limits.
It's a miracle!!!
They are confused: it's the Mormons who can't drink coffee.
And Good God, Wonkette. What are you trying to do to us today? If we all drop dead of apoplexy who will give you all your precious, precious page views?
You just don't get it, do you, you filthy commie libtard. The asshole terrist was drinking Starbucks!!!!!9!11!!!!!!#
See, I could see the coffe snobs club attacking him for drinking that nasty swill, but generally they are more into sitting in dark cafes, wearing berets and sipping espresso through suger cubes.
… and pretending to write a screenplay on their MacBook….
Hey, this is getting personal, here. Hmf.
Are you stalking me? And it's not a screenplay, it's lesbo prUn.
HOWARD SCHULTZ DID 9/11 NEVAH FORGET!!!!!!1!!!!1!!!!
To the International Shariah Court with them, those infidels!
Where's the Jesus foam fingers and Our Lord beer hats?
WHERE'S OUR CUTE PUPPY LINK JACK?
PUPPIES ARE UNCLEAN AND THEREFORE AGAINST ISLAM! INSH'ALLAH!
I still have the puppy link open from that previous nightmare post of 'Murican racist stupidity.
I'm leaving the puppy link open as long as I need it.
(I didn't like the puppy link. A puppy in a drawer is kind of creepy. Please don't take away my meager pee-points.)
*whispering.
This is just for you, hockeymom. Please don't tell the wonketteers that I posted such a pussyfied video.
Thank you so much….baby hummingbird! My day is made!
I said a couple of weeks ago something to the effect that we need permanent links to puppies and kittens and baby birdies and laughing babies in easy reach of these artery-bursting stories that keep coming up.
Yet again: Classy!
… mocking him for drinking Starbucks coffee …
The Folgers Fanatics are getting a little out of hand.
Drink Lipton TEA like a Real Murkin!!!!!
More like swill a gallon of Mickey D's Sweet T like a lardass 'murican.
Isn't tea for these types more for decorating their headwear accouterments?
I think you mean Long Island Iced Teas.
Morning Joe is not amused.
Who knew the Taster's Choice couple were such dicks?
"What was the name of that Muslin we threw crosses at in Paris?"
"JEAN-LUC!!"
Win! Oh, sorry: Gagné!
"Hate it to the rim…with Brim!"
I thought Muslins drank Hills Bros coffee? At least there was an A-Rab on the can.
Jesus, what a bunch of morans!
Jesus Fucking Christ. Please speed up the rapture, k?
Correction: Jesus Hussein Christ.
Smutboffin pointed that out some time ago. I understand the confusion, honestly I had no clue that was what the H stood for.
"Hey! We're a little busy up here, mkay? Do you want it done fast or do you want it done right? Doesn't matter what you want, I'm doing it MY way, which is, you know, The Lord's way. Oh snip snap snippity snap!"
That's the reply I heard from the voice in my head…
"If you rush a miracle worker you get rotten miracles!"
I'd like to rapture them to heaven via the nearest wood chipper.
Hope somebody got some footage of ants crawling over the crucifixes they were throwing down, too.
Your comment is full of win.
Non Snark
I am so embarrassed of my countrymen. Plurality people. Plurality
One of the guys on Team Jesus carries an Israeli flag. Is that awesome or what?
I thought for a second I was having an acid flashback when I saw that.
You were… *Your mind: blown.*
I saw the flag and heard the person screaming "Jesus," and it didn't compute for a full five seconds.
or what.
Jesus, as Son of God, could opt to represent any country — even a non-Christian one — in international competition, but He is also Son of man (or woman, as the case may be, by Maryam al-Nazara) who was from the Promised Land. & as any good Jewish boy should, Jesus has chosen to honour His mother by playing for her country.
Jack keep these posts up and wonkette is going to need a suicide counselor.
Seriously. I'm starting to think Jack is getting paid to post all this awful shit by all of our shrinks so they can make sure they'll stay in business.
As a former SC, let me say that suicide is a long-term solution to a short-term problem. Sarah Palin will say something stupid soon and your on-line experience will improve. You'll see.
This depressing an Layne hasn't even dropped one. I'll be in the bunker.
Just like the Wonkbot – look what happened to her.
Congratulations, Jesus is now on par with John Cena.
agreed. this guy is probably just a Morning Joe plant.
And I thought they were playing jacks. Or maybe rolling dice for that guy's clothes.
Or deciding who was gonna give him the sponge of vinegar?
Fantastic.
I want his shoes. They look like Pumas or something.
"This man looks like he has inner peace! Let's get 'im!"
The praying man seems very "Christ-like" what with his turning the other cheek and all. And the so-called Christians seem like the soldiers mocking the King of the Jews in that one old book that these people have obviously never read.
I'm going to go and clean up the garage and have a crying jag and get it out of my system. I don't know who was more of a crap weasel there, the people who did it or the people who turned a blind eye to it.
I’m not a violent person but if I witnessed that scene I’m not sure I could keep my cool. Disgusting.
Jesus loves me, this I know, for the angry man with the sign tells me so.
I am a violent person and I know I wouldn't have kept my cool, Which is why my wife doesn't let me out of the house much.
"Anti-muslim protester?" When did we stop calling them "religious bigots?" Or "pigfucking ignorant douchenozzles who should eat a giant sack of fresh, oozing dicks?"
Personally, I never stopped calling them that.
I find "fucking assholes" effective also.
prommie–you are on a roll today!
When did we stop calling them "religious bigots?"
We didn't stop, but others were getting uncomfortable and are trying to give credence to religious bigots' pigfuckeritude.
"The “Jesus” chant is great. These people seem to think they’re spectators at a sporting event and their deity is losing the match."
here we go jeebus, here we go! [clap clap]
Jesus saves, passes to Moses, shoots, SCORES!!
I can't remember the guy's name, but there is a comic (Dan St. Pierre, maybe?) who has a hilarious take on baseball in heaven along these lines, with Harry Carey calling the game. Much better than real baseball.
God saves the Queen.
But Jesus scores on the rebound.
Only Jesus saves more than Bernie Parent.
My father has had a Parent-autographed puck since the mid '70's–still one of his very few prized possessions.
Hey, hey, ho, ho
We hate your Jeebus and he's got to go.
Hey, hey, ho…..
Push 'em back!
Push 'em back!!
Waaaaay back!!1!
This is genius.
I've never been so glad to be an atheist.
I wish it felt good to be outside of it, but that was a human — praying — that was being assaulted by Manifest God Damn Destiny.
My atheism gets no solace when anyone gets demeaned.
I didn't say I take solace in anyone being demeaned. I said I've never been so glad to be an atheist.
In this particular case, my only horse in the race is the horse of basic humanity…
Frankly, the only person who wasn't demeaned by this experience was the Muslim. The Christians made absolute fools of themselves. Sad stuff.
Never place any money on Basic Humanity. Although, his father was a mudder… His mother was a mudder… And this is some dirty, muddy shit…
To that end, after I re-read this thread, I sounded like a pushy putz. My bad.
I agree. Watching people like that makes me real proud to be one of the heathen.
Never been more ashamed of Christians, speaking as the world's worst (I actually have the trophy on the bookcase).
Not shown was the kind, loving way the Christians began converting this Muslin to the true faith. It was when he failed to respond favorably that the shouting and the intimidation was needed. If that doesn't work it will be torture followed by some form of horrific execution, because they love him.
"Oh Lord bless this, Thy hand grenade, that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy."
It's not funny 'cause it's true. :( Because they love him, indeed.
Because they love themselves. And because they get off on that shit.
Yes "Jesus Loves You" sign man, Jesus loves the praying guy. On the other hand, he thinks you're a dick.
it's tough love.
As i said earlier, Fucking evil mother fuckers.
Needs more Billy Jack.
So " Jesus loves You" signs are ironic now?
What I found highly amusing was when the "so called" Christian yelled at the guy "what kind of God tells his followers to go out and kill those that don't believe in him" I was thinking "duh yours actually" has the moran every actually, you know, read a Bible?
Hell, what kind of monotheistic god doesn't do that?
Sikhism's Ik Onkar seems pretty laid back, especially for someone so fond of knives.
mmmmm knives . . . .
Or a few pages of a history book?
Well you know that would involve that Librul Elitist thing such as "reading" and we all know that they can't stand that sort of stuff.
Kristallnacht-trainees. Shameless and disgraceful.
These're the kind of people who, in a power failure, are always surprisingly quick to start looting. "The power's out at the police station! Free flatscreens at Walmart! "
No, these are white people; only black and brown folks loot, white people find. Didn't our media coverage of Katrina tell you anything?
The quiet dignity of a man who comes to pray in public in front of one of the symbols of the government that has declared war upon and carried out mass slaughter on his co-religionists compared with barbarity of the mob who comes to spew hatred and vile abuse at everyone who believes differently than they do is amazing.
The score–
Muslim guy: 1 Christian crowd: negative one thousand.
This is just the trailer for NBC's newest number 1 hit drama "Sharia Law and Order."
Sorry, Irony died today. Stabbed in the throat by a teabagger with an American flag.
Who directed this video? Woody Allen?
If he did, it would be named "The Whore of Medina."
JESUS GOD
LOVES = HATES
YOU FAGS
I never did understand the need to pray in public, though. I don't care what religion it is. Are we communing with God or are we putting on a show?
Yes.
Beat me to it.
"Let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing. But go ahead and pray ostentatiously in a very public place. Heck, go ahead and set yourself on fire, too, if you want to make the 5 o'clock news."
If I were inclined to pray, I think I'd do it discreetly, in a manner befitting the intimate nature of the transaction. But hey, I'm that way with my cell phone conversations too. What ya gonna do….
Man, I wish more people felt that way about their cell phone conversations.
It's a show, but even as an atheist, I'm willing to conjecture that the pray-er could imagine it's a show for God. You know, getting God's attention when you are just one of 6 billion souls trembling in the shadows doesn't sound likely to get your message across. Whereas the grand Parthenon-style edifices might evoke a racial memory for being in the right place where upon God's eye might just bother to alight upon one, if only for a nanosecond.
1. No
2. Yes
Jesus wept. And we can see why.
Beat me to it.
Good thing they were shouting, "JESUS!JESUS!" I heard from LouTwatSarah that you can't say "God" in the public square.
Lou probably has GOD clippered into her pubic hair.
Love the "Thank you troops for keeping us safe since 9/11" sign… Do they have a problem with the troops before 9/11?
JESUS LOVES YOU
GOD HATES FAGS
You could change the signs and the sentiment expressed by the crowds would be the same.
JESUS LOVES
YOUMEGOD HATES
FAGSMUSLINSFixed
Is today some kind of Super Duper Ultra Extreme religious intolerance day or something?
Randall Terry and Terry Jones were both near the White House today.
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/03…
Coincidence that the praying Muslim chap got blasted?
NFW.
Sadly, no. This is every day in Amurrica these days.
More hate and violence in 30 seconds than in 3 weeks of demonstrations in Madison. (God slaps forehead)
Aren't you supposed to set a cross on fire if it touches the ground or something?
I think you've conflated that w/ a fine old tradition for welcoming ex-slaves to second-class citizenship.
The cross-burning happens later after the pot luck supper – back at the Motel 6.
Would someone like to explain to them that the good coffee is called arabica for a reason….
Jesus Lopez was the point guard on my high school team. Those chants of jesus, jesus, jesus brought back some fond memories. Thank you.
Honestly, given the things Jesus said and believed in, according to the Gospels? He probably is.
And my opinion on organized religion remains exactly the same.
More Fish for Kunta!
Every time I think we can't get any dumber – we lower the bar even more by throwing in some bigoted intolerance. Christ! And I don't mean the one these soulless dickwads are praising. I mean it as an epithet.
this why there are atheists.
I hope not — it's my fervent hope that there are atheists because people come reasonably to conclude that there is no evidence for the existence of a deity. This putrid little display is merely evidence that being religious does not necessarily make one a kinder or more tolerant person, which could still be the case if a stupid, loutish, hateful deity existed.
Personally I'm an atheist not because one or another god sucks or his/her followers suck, but because it seems the most reasonable conclusion based on the evidence or lack thereof. And I'd continue to be so even if there were a gang of idiot small-minded atheists who behaved the way those so-called Christians did — I'd certainly be ashamed to hold such a deep-seated outlook with them, but with billions of people on this earth, some are bound to agree with me and yet still suck.
Okay, lecture over — but speaking of atheism, I've got an idea for what these morons should give up during Lent.
Aw, c'mon, didn't you drop any acid in the 60's?
"I've got an idea for what these morons should give up during Lent."
I vote oxygen.
These people are a bag of dicks…
Everyone is blowing this way out of proportion. Clearly this was just some diligent citizen performing a routine vampire check. You should be thanking him for his civic-minded concern for public safety.
Next up–wooden stakes and silver bullets.
Tiny tin crosses are this year's crumpled dollar bills.
Could not watch. Had to watch "Two Girls One Cup" to cleanse the palate after the last bigot clip posted on The Wonkettes. Don't have the energy for another one.
I LOVE the sign that says "Thank you troops for keeping us safe since 9/11."
Since there have been no terrorist attacks since then…
These people are doing one helluva piss-poor job of bringing me over to the Lord's side.
Yeah no kidding.
If you came upon this scene, what would you say or do? Or if you came upon the OC SS from this afternoon? No snark here, I'm just curious.
If I came upon this scene, I would come upon this scene.
Those fuckers would disperse before I could even finish buttoning up my fly.
Ah, the milk of human kindness approach.
speak foully.
Hard to say, really. In OC, I'd probably go up to the folks walking in & chat with them about the event, smile at their kids, make a donation. In DC, perhaps I'd sit beside the praying man & meditate on world peace or something like that.
The ridiculous thing is, based on the TPM article the guy these bigots were planning to protest is an obvious clown, a radical Muslim version of Steppin Fetchit who's actually performing for the benefit of bigots like them, but they don't get the "joke" even though they are the target audience.
"The power of Christ propels you!"
Hoveround, y'all; the end is the neigh!
You've never played 'catch the Jesus' before?
Remove the mote from your own eye before removing the mote from your brother's eye. [paraphrasing]
Jēs-U-S-A! Jēs-U-S-A! Jēs-U-S-A! Jēs-U-S-A!
Ah, the bracing slap of xenophobia. If only more people were ignorant and bigoted. I, myself, feel ashamed to be the minority these days. I just want to "fit in." Maybe the rich people would like me and want to take me home as a pet. Then I could just lay around and bark at Mooslums all day long. And eat. And listen to the other ignorant dogs barking. And eat.
Cool, I wanted to puke some more today!
So was lunch any better the second time around? mine sucked.
These aren’t ordinary civilians.
These are Crusades re-enactors.
Surprisingly, this 1 min 45 sec compresses the thrilling Third Crusade from 1187-1192. The “Jesus Loves You” sign guy is quite obviously Richard the Lionheart, who was basically Churchill in chainmail.
I think prayer should be done in private. As well as xenophobic screaming from mobs.
And then, with "Enter Sandman" blaring, Jesus burst out from a cloud of smoke-machine smoke, ripped through a banner that said "GO JESUS BEAT MOHAMMAD", and wiped out this Mohammedan with a sweet helmet-to-helmet-style hit.
Jeesus.
What kind of god would tell you to kill somebody because you don't believe in their god?
I don't know, man who is calling for the extermination of an entire people based solely on how they pray to Sky Daddy, why don't you tell me?
Note to protesters: Muslims are not, in fact, vampires.
What… you mean that whole Sharia 4 America protest failed to materialize, but a buncha idiot right-wing fucktards fell for the whole story and showed up anyway ready for the next Crusades?
I'm shocked. SHOCKED!!!
Love thy neighbor, must of lost something in the translation.
where did this part of my country come from?
i don't like it.
Fox news?
WTF? Is there some astronomical event triggering off everybody's bigot chips today or something?
I've had that sing-song stuck in my brain since then, lol
"even throwing tiny crosses at his feet as he prayed."
Way to respect Jesus, Jesus Freaks.
Never forget — THEY HATE US FOR 'R FREEDUMBS!
Umm, thanks for taking a shit in my brain for a 2nd time today, Jack.
These fine 'people' were throwing crosses on the ground?
Sounds like the same type that like to mess-up the Qur'an
The force is strong with you today. The hate in the world has given you great power.
"Beware of the Dark Side. Anger, Fear, Agression. The Dark Side of the Force are they."
I'm guessing they don't even know that Jesus is in the Quran as well. Fucktards make me feel bad for Jesus. He's got asshole fans, but that's not his fault.
Oh, and for that guy at the end: what kind of god would tell you to harass someone else while they're praying just because it's to a different version of god than yours, you mouthbreathing jackass?
Geez. Us.
I managed to read all the comments without watching this thing, then, while scrolling back up I accidentally clicked it. This while listening to Chris Matthews talk about Huckabee saying Barack is from Kenya, raised in a madrass, with Mau Mau's and not like us. WTF has happened to us? Geez. Us. It's repubnant.
"Let's talk dirty to the animals:
Fuck you, Mr. Pig."
Why that song came to mind I'm not sure, but there's gotta be a connection.
Geez. Us. Geez. Us.
We're so fucked.
Nauseating and vile. No snark. Just wake me when the empire is over.
Over, or just dying inside? Because, too late!
He's not praying, you idiots, he's doing some very simple yoga moves: Splashing Water on Face, Horse Grazing…
Actually, it's moments like this when I miss Neilist. He'd have had some rant along the lines of "Oh sure, crosses! What are they, liberal pinko scum? Now if you want to take out your average raghead, you should toss an XJMKI572 shrapnel grenade – the kind that sprays sharp nails and glass for a 200-yard radius – at his feet. Kind of like those crazy terrorists threw at Benazhir Bhutto's limousine. And let me tell you, she is STILL DEAD."
As an Irishman, I hate white people.
Stay classy, motherfuckers; stay classy.
Disgusting. Jesus must be rolling over in his grave right about now.
Hey, at least that weren't pelting him with bacon, amirite? Keep on the sunnyside of life!
Muslins are the new Communists
Fox New will be featuring this video every half hour for the next 24 hours right?
Ha ha ha, I slay me.
Did not watch this video. Don't have High Blood Pressure, don't want it. I've seen this kind of shit before, was not idle then, would not be idle at this scene, were I there. I am not presently incarcerated, so you know for a fact I was not there. I really hate this part of my Country, you know, the ignorant, bigoted part.
There's no better way for Christians to prove Islam is a violent faith while their's is a peaceful one than by menacingly surrounding a lone Muslim, shouting anti-Islam slogans, making violent threats and pelting him with shit. You stay classy, Christians
